N/A

If you're like me, the days of trying to impress have sailed away, and now you're trying to maintain what little physical dignity you have left. That also means you are subjected to different generations and their annoying mannerism while working out. For me, it's the guys who wear hats or boat shoes while lifting, man-buns(!), and/or sitting on a machine texting and not using it at all. Also, wipe down your benches after you've sweated all over them and put your damn weights away.
Thoughts?

On the eve of MGoBlog football (or non-OT) season, I thought this might make an interesting topic. What behaviors do you find most annoying in retail stores?

I'll start with a couple:

- People right behind the person at the register who insist on standing at least several feet from that person. I'm all for "transaction bubbles," but I find them annoying when the end of the line extends into aisles where people are trying to maneuver shopping carts, etc.

- I don't see this very frequently nowadays, but occasionally someone will park an empty cart in a line and fill it piecemeal while others are waiting behind the cart. (Unless the person looks sociopathic and potentially dangerous, I usually push those carts out of the line or at least behind me.)

Amazon's deal to acquire Whole Foods will be complete Monday and I'm torn.

On the one hand, you can argue it is bad when one company starts to swallow an ever growing share of the economy. And there are assertions that Amazon's impact on retail has been devastating and its employee wages are bad.

On the other hand, my family and I use Amazon all the time. Bezos has already promised to cut prices at Whole Foods starting next week and offer Prime customers (that's me!) deals and discounts at the grocery store. I am not a food snob, but I will buy more stuff at WF if it gets cheaper.

Everyone is just so dumb in 700 AD or whatever and I can't handle it.

Night King: Throw faster or at least have better caddies! Throw at the rock island!

Bran is just the worst at omnipresence!

Just have dragons burn the ships!

Writers: You have all of the deus ex machinas in the world and you still come up with "this dude who we never show rides in on a horse sometimes!" Why did you idiots give everyone plot armor this season?

Dear board, please answer me this: Who else is dumb? Who is the most dumb?
